Energizer Energi Stick Emergency Charger for T-Mobile LG G2x /Optimus 2x

Energizer Energi Stick Emergency Charger for T-Mobile LG G2x /Optimus 2x
I was looking online for external battery options I came across this.
I see it has a keyring, Nice feature, But on my keyring it would get banged around and break.
It has a interesting design it curved to plug in and be held ot the back of the phone.
I also notice it said 5v and 500 mAh is this compatible with the LGG2X???
If it is, Is the 500 mAh enough to chagre phone and use it?
Product Features
Brand new Energizer charger.
Model number: AP650MC.
Connectors: micro-USB.
Built-in rechargeable battery. 5V and 500 mAh.
Simply recharge with your original phone micro-USB cable.
micro-USB cable not included.
For the price i think it should include the micro usb cable.

This is dumb. Why not just buy an extra battery instead? I mean I bought 2 for 12 bucks and it came with a charger.

Batteries are 1500 mah and run just as long as the stock batteries. I consistently switch them out. Its so much easier to just swap them then wait for my phone to charge. For an on the go person its perfect. I wish I had a link but I bought them on Ebay. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R...13&_nkw=g2x+battery&_sacat=See-All-Categories
They are all over and come from hong kong but it only took a few days to get here.
Haha I just bought 2 more and it came with a TPU case, 3 screen protectors (probably crap), USB cable and a battery charger.

Don't understand why you have to start off with "This is dumb". If it's not your thing it's not your thing...just don't get the epidemic of rude.
Anyway, stepping off my soapbox...personally I like the idea. Usually I'm around a charger...but on the rare occasions I need a boost it might come in handy. Yes, an extra battery is a good solution...but not for me. I keep my phone in a shell and hate pulling it off (seems to lead to new scratches and looser fit).
So, thanks to the OP for pointing this out...might just get one.

5v is plenty to send a charge to the phone. The wall charger is 4.8v. The 500 is just tells you how much juice the battery has. Ours has 1500 vs. this at 500, so it should theoretically last 1/3 of the time our replace 1/3 of the battery.

RavPower 14000mAh Power Bank - aka Dynamo On the Go Portable USB Charger

Power Banks from RavPower are starting to remind me of Swiss Army Knives. I recently reviewed one that acted as a hot spot, provides charging, and allows devices to read SDCards and portable hard drives. The product in this post substitutes out those features for a huge capacity (14000 mAh) and a flashlight. It has two ports. One good enough to charge most cell phones and another that is good enough to charge most tablets (1A and 2A output respectively).
I've carried similar products:
in the field (@ Fort Stewart and other military training facilities)
on deployment
while in Europe - kept my phone charged and acting as a hotspot for a group of 5
at sporting events
on plane trips / at the airport
conventions (SEMA / CTIA)
The prices on stuff like this keep on dropping. It'd probably be good to keep one charged up and in your arsenal of mobile devices / accessories.
Model: RP-PB13
(Pictured above: charged just about everyone's phone at the ball game - 2x S3, S4, LG Optimus G Pro)
Pick it up on Amazon for $42.99: http://bit.ly/18acfhG

Looks sweet!
And the price is great too!
Thanks for letting us know man.

I have the RAVPower 10400 and it's a lifesaver on my recent travels. I noticed Trent has a 14000 Rugged version so that's another option, thanks for the heads up and review on the Ravpower 14000. Is the LED light useful? Anker has it but I'm not sure how bright these lights are.

New Trent looks nice. I just had an issue with one of their products. It did get used a lot though so I'm not surprised the port finally broke.
The light is basically just enough to locate small items in the dark and plug stuff into the battery pack. You're not going to want to use the light lets say for setting up a camp site.

This looks Awesome.

i'm sorry to ask here... but is the home button of your S4 blinking? how?
Abought the charger, do you notice if it loses the charge if you spend a litle time without using it? I have a power bank that i imported fron china and it loses all charge if i dont use it for 4 days...

don't think that's an S4...
just ordered two of these. great price for 14000mah for sure..
NiMh batteries will discharge fast.. LiPo and Li-Ion don't typically have such high internal discharge rates.. maybe the one you have has Nimh cells in it?

If the iPhone was at the same level of discharge and the power banks were both charged, it's nice to know that one can recharge at a quicker rate. I couldn't quote the reply that it was measuring current since that was on a different page, or I would have.

Ive had my Zagg for over 2 years now, with no replacement used yet. It has lost a bit of its life expansion since purchase, but I love it. Good investment for me

How does this compare to the anker one? The newest anker only lost 18% or so of the power from transferring power from external natterybto phone. How does this compare ?

QuickCharge 2.0 External Batteries?

Can't seem to find any that have the higher voltage for QC 2.0 to charge a Note 4, anyone else have any better luck?

It's a bit new to see that in battery packs and multi port chargers.

Ouch on that Incipio price - $89.95. For that you could buy 8 phone batteries with 4 chargers:

I have a couple of 13000 and 15000mah external battery chargers but they aren't Quick Charge capable.

yeah, that's a little pricey for what it is...

If I get a little more disposable cash, I'd consider putting a minimum quantity order in and sell a few to those on here at cost plus shipping. It's worthwhile to resell if you can beat other sellers to the punch and make a penny. Once these become commodity and the prices drop, it's not worth it unless you're a big time seller. The profit per piece usually cuts it close for the time you invest fulfilling orders and dealing with problem ones. I got hosed on Note 2 cases a couple years ago where the cases were crap. One drop and the Note would pop out. Couldn't get the seller to take them back, and I didn't feel comfortable selling them knowing I'd get complaints (if it happened to me on multiple occasions.) Still have them. Might just unload them cheap when I get around to it.
With the QC options out there, I wouldn't buy a battery or charger that didn't have one QC port on it at this point. Funny, all the people wanting their wireless charging. I'll take QC any day.

Going back to the cheaper option approach - you can get the Anker charger plus two extra batteries for $25.00 and this Anker 10,000mAh external battery for $23.00:
http://www.amazon.com/Compact-10000mAh-Portable-External-Technology/dp/B009USAJCC/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1422131778&sr=1-4&keywords=anker+power+bank
Swap out batteries and use the external battery pack plus the charger to charger the spares. Charging won't be as fast as Quick Charge but hey, it's on the spares. For $48.00 you have a whole heck of a lot of spare juice available. And there are higher capacity but pricier external batteries available.

I have the OEM charger and spare battery. I keep it in the center console charged. If I need to I swap and let the dead one charge. If I have a heavy day and can't charge I grab the charged spare. I use a pack to charge other things when needed and once in a while the phone. So if I were to replace it, it would be with one with a QC option. Not everyone is buying a battery pack specifically for the phone, but if your going to buy one, why not have the QC option? It's also less time you're tethered to a charger when needed.

Motorola 3000 mAh power pack for $9 free ship

I have one of these and really like it. They retail for $60, which is of course too much to pay for them. But $9 is a great deal!

You can get 2 for $15 also:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorola-Un...Apple-iPhone-Samsung-More-2-Pak-/221595507338
I have purchased from this seller before and I have no complaints (N/A). The power packs have a button you can press to see how much charge is left - there are 4 lights that light up to indicate charge level. In addition to the the built-in micro USB cable, there is a USB cable port that you can use if you have a lighting data cable to charge an iPhone.
These also are sold on Amazon for the same price but you either have to have Prime or buy $35 worth of stuff to get free shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...d_t=201&pf_rd_p=1944687462&pf_rd_i=B00H6WXVSI
I believe it comes with a Motorola micro USB travel charger as shown in the pictures above.

Thanks for sharing. But I have a 10,000 mah power bank that was only $20, so I think I'll just be keeping that one. 3000 mAh is only good for one full charge

Nice find. I have two 12,000 mah banks but this would be more convenient to carry around for a quick top off. Motorola branded is also a plus.

yeah, mine has held up pretty good and I leave it in a hot car and drain it to zero all of the time, basically do everything you shouldn't do to a lithium ion battery and it still works great.

about 3 1/8 inches tall, about 1 3/4 inches wide and about 3/4 of an inch deep.

Is it really 3000mAh? I find that the ratings on these things are generally too high. From completely empty on a Moto X 2014, how full can it make it?

I never let my phones go completely empty. The most I let them get down to is 20%.
Generally if the charge on my phone is less than about 25%, then I will charge. If I am near an outlet, I use my turbo charger. If not, then I use this.

If you are in the 20-25% range, will this bring it to 100% (if the charger itself is fully charged)?

I will have to test it out. I usually only use it while I am out and about and my charge is getting low. I will use it to bring the charge up to at least 50% and then take it off.

I let my phone get down to 28% and the charger brought it to 100% in a few hours with still some charge left. The charger has 4 lights that light up to indicate charge level. It was down to 1 light when my Moto X 2014 got to 100%.
My charger is over a year old and it has gotten a decent amount of use by me. As I said, I mostly use it to keep my phone above 50% when I am out and about. And I keep it in my purse, which I often leave in a hot car for too long so if heat degrades these chargers, mine has been abused in that respect.

Which battery pack is best?

Just ordered a new 128gb S6, wondering what battery pack to order? Ive read that the mophie one is good but it seems a lot more expensive than something like the powerbear which has 5 stars on amazon? Anyone using one atm?

I'm fixing to return my mophie power care as it seems to block reception for me.
One night I have amazing 4g at work, I put the case on it and bam! 1x. Take it off.... Back to 4g. I'll be sticking with a power bank instead

I'm using the Zerolemon 2800mah battery case. Works very good, its not fast charge but it gets my phone from 10% to 100% and still have some juice left over. Does add a bit of bulk to the phone tho.

But would it work on S6 too? Since QuickCharge 2.0 is just for Qualcomm chipset and S6 is using Exynos chipset.

Ya it works. When I plug it in the phone says "fast charging". The battery is a little anal about what cable you use though. Only the one that came with the battery and the phone worked with fast charging out of the ones I had.
